The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1887-05-11

On Wednesday night last about one
hundred young men attended the meet
ing called for the purpose of organizing
the Bozeman National Guards, according
to the Territorial laws. After a thorough
explanation by the Quartermaster-Gen
eral, G. w. Hoffman, of the duties and
requirements of the organization, the
meeting adjourned to meet o. Friday
night. At this meeting only a few at
tended. but those few have determined
to organize the company, and during the
week will call another meeting for the
election of officers, send for their suits
and be mustered in as soon as possible.
Those who wish to join, and can realize
the fact that the company is not formed
for picnic purposes and that each mem
beris not presented with a suit of clothes
and a stick of candy, are asked to give
their names to Hon. CIV. Hoffman or
A. K. Yerkes. All the arms, ammunition
and other articles necessary are furnish
ed by the government, except the suits,
which will cost about $500. A certain
amount of money is provided by the ter
ritory to be placed to the ~company's
credit. Three parades a year are requir-
ed by law. The officers of the company
will be a captain, two lieutenants, five
s~ergeants and four corporals.

AS TO SQUIRRELS.

The squirrel industry is being pursued
with renewed vigor in this valley, owing
to a report that Governor Leslie intends
to call a special session of the legislature.
Probate Judge Carson has received a very
large number of scalps during the week,
and other magistrates their proportion
On some days Judge Carson has issueds
certificates for 5000 squirrel scalps.
Judge Carson for the past week has
averaged almost $50 a day as his share of
the bounty. Last Wednesday a man
from Oregon arrived with a patent ma
chine, which he says is a sure squirrel
exterminator. II is built Of sheet-iron,
cylindrical in shape, and is not unlike a
mammoth syringe in its action. A fire
is built inside the cylinder, and the
smoke thrown into the hole, from which
the squirrel soon issues in a dazed condl-
ton, and is knocked senseless with a
club. The inventor sells the machine
for ST, 100.

THAT YELLOW "sTREAK."

E. V. smalley, editor and proprietor of
the Northwest Magazine, arrived at Boze-
man in his own car from the west on
Friday, the sole occupant of his elegant
car, his artist and business manager be-
ing busy on the west side. While IN
Bozeman Mr.. Smalley concluded to build
a neat cottage on his two lots, next to
John Lafferty's, and may reside in Boze-
nan during the summer months, having
expressed his belief that Bozeman was
the healthiest place in the United States.
Mr.. smalley intends, if possible, to at
tend the Editorial Association meeting
in August, which meets in Helena, and
take a number of the members on a Wis
it to Captain Mills at Deer Lodge also on
a visit to the ''boys" in Butte. Mr.. Small
ley has the utmost confidence In Bohemian
and expressed himself as more than
pleased at the substantial growth made
in a year and at the signs of an awaken
ing and the promise of more lively build
ing operations. He thinks that Boze-
mans tributary coal fields are of i'm
mense value to the town.

LIVINGSTON, Mont, May Sd, 1887.
Things were pretty lively here yester-
day. Tie county commissioners met in
the forenoon and all the Park county of
ficials qualified and took the oath of Of
flee.
The commissioners are wrestling with
bids for printing and blank books to be
done outside the county. Representa-
tives from Boos & Co., Helena, Pioneer
Press. st. Paul, and Barnard & Co.. st.
Louis, are here and all Of them are on the
anxious seat. The county printing, ex-
cept blank books, bonds and warrants,
has been contracted for with George Fl.
Wright, of the Enterprise.
The building and fixtures Of the defunct
First National Bank were sold at auction
yesterday, ]. G. Villas purchased the
building for $1,000, about one-fourth its
cost. The furniture and fixings, includ-
ing the safe, counters, desks, etc, real
lied about $500-and 80 ends the affairs
of the late First National Bank of lily
ingston. 1t is understood that the coun-
ty commissioners will rent the building
for offices.
Immediately after the sale everyone
adjourned to the base ball grounds north
of the depot to witness the first game
played here this season, between Town
send and Livingston. The Townsend
boys, however, rated their opponents
too lightly and put an inferior battery in
the field at the start, SO that before they
knew where they were, the score stood
Is to O. Radborne then pitched for the
rest of the game, and the home boys
were some time catching on to his curves
but in the fifth inning piled up six more
runs. The game closed on the seventh
inning, the score standing 26 to A.
In the evening about 150 couples par
ticipated in a grand ball at the rink, fol
lowed by a supper at the new Albemarle
hotel, which is certainly a credit to the
town. 1t is three stories in height, has
over sixty bed rooms, elegant parlors
and is furnished and finished Throughout
in first.class style. Under the manage
ment of Mr.. C. W, Savage, late OF Milel
City, it cannot fail to be a success inan
cially, and a valuable adjunct to thu
town. 1 hope the Gay will soon arrive
when we may have like accommodation
in Bozeman, VIsIroR.

BURNED TO THE GROUND.

The farm house of W. ]. Alexander,
situated on his ranch, near the Ellis re-
.servation, was burned to the ground on
Wednesday night last week, about eleven
O'Clock. Mr.. Alexander was awakened
from a sound sleep by the barking Of his
dog, just in time TO arouse his son, who.
with himself, were the only human oc-
cupants of the house, and seizing his
clothes and blankets escaped below just
as the roof fell in. The boy could not
not secure his clothes and from the lower
portion of the building only the stove
was removed. Mr.. Alexander Is Of the
opinion that the fire caught in some way
from the kitchen stove. But for the dog
he and his boy would have been devour-
ed by the flames. The house was a large
one, we'll built, and its destruction is a
severe loss TO Mr., Alexander.
